Imma big gurl now

Holy guacamole, it's been entirely too long since that last time I've posted something. Funny thing is, I've been making the time to generate artwork, just not the time to post it... Heh. I got my many excuses to validate my absence, as usual, BUT this time I promise you they are legit! For starters, I've moved out. Yes, I no longer survive off the sustenance provided by my parents, nor do I live carelessly in a world where my laundry is done for me. No, my friends, I am an adult now, and you know what? ...Being an adult is alotta feckin' work! Bills to pay, dishes to clean, foods to make; it's just one non-stop trip of shit to do. Nevertheless, I DO love being on my own. Even if it means paying a whooping rent check every month. So, besides all the crazy jazz that comes along with moving out, I've managed to muster up the energy to do up this piece of my favorite BPRD agent waiting for a pickup. There might not always be time to make my lunch in the morning, but there's always time for HellBoy.

Oh, and for those of you who were wondering whether or not my film, "A Romance in Graphite", won anything at the Teletoon Animation Scholarship Awards ....I didn't. But, do not fret! I just feel privilege to have been apart of a contest with so many other amazing artists. Also, my friend's Vlad and James won first and second place, so it's all good :)

Thanks for the comps on the art Mel! I must say that the animation you did had me entranced the entire time. Even if it didn't win, it's an excellent portfolio piece, and if you haven't already, you should submit it to film festivals. A+! How long did it take to do?

Dig the HB pic too, you can't go wrong with big red. I have wanted to do a pic of him eating pancakes for ages. You draw him better than I do, so feel free...hint hint.

Aah, the price of freedom ...But the sheer joy n happiness of being on your own is something tooo sweet...!! makes the dishes and the laundry worth it!! (of course, doing the dishes and the laundry is a joy in itself, but that’s another story :)

Whoa...WHOA! You know I have a strong amount of love for this fella! I'd say I'm bias because it's Hellboy, but it's too good! I love it! Prints available?? I think I want to do a Hellboy piece now! Congrads on becoming an adult, I know it's not easy! Except that cooking thing(for me it's fun at least) I pretend to be a DECENT chef, thanks to my Italian grandma! ;)

Well. you are right, adult life means a lot of work to do, but it is really fun too.. it is great you have always time for hellboy.. I did something for this movie too, I will post it soon.. congratulations to your friend..

Nice colors, nice art as always!And now you are free to draw at the time you like and listen to the music really high! I left my father´s house at 17 and it was a great moment!I´m sure this change is going to affect your art in a good form!Enjoy!Mauro.
